People suggest a Kinectless version to lower cost. I would be more interested in a cheaper version without the HDMI in. The Kinect I could imagine a use for in the future. I will simply never use the whole TV passthrough thing.
Other than a lower price, they just need a handful of games to get me onboard. Sunset Overdrive and Quantum Break showing well would do a lot for me.
Yes great analogy.
Except for where Quantum Break is a third person shooter and XCOM is a turn based strategy.
I'm not saying Quantum Break doesn't look interesting, I'm just saying that it's a shooter.
For me Nothing really. Will patiently wait for a 299 price cut and even then it'll be mostly used as a first and second party exclusive games machine. Third party games will be on PS4. MS has made there bed this gen by alienating there gaming supporters with the FUBAR E3 2013 conference. Don't know how long MS will let the Xbox division stay afloat as sales start shrinking over tims, hardware and software wise.

Software wise, nothing at this stage. My entry requirements would be no kinect and a price cut. Neither of which will happen.

That they've solved backwards compatibility with your digital x360 purchases, and they've developed rival streaming technology that allows you to play games remotely utilizing an app on your tablet and any Xbox One or Xbox 360 controller.
Instant buy. No price drop necessary.

It's because indie games don't count. And PS4/PC games don't count, only X1/PC games are "exclusive". Also Knack is barely a game so that doesn't count. MLB is on PS3 so that doesn't count. Who even plays KZ so let's take that out. So yea, PS4 literally only has inFamous.
Anyways I agree with others, a good apology will go a long way. And none of that "consumers don't understand" BS
Buy valve or sony. So nothing.
They would certainly have to drop kinect, be about 300$ cheaper, and release a broader appeal of games. By that I mean take some chances with titles and not stick to the tried an true. Even if this all happened I would likely stick to my current console/pc setup as it's served me well through more than two generations.

Substantial price drop + subscription (as opposed to per title) based access to native quality emulation of the entire 360 library+arcade without region restrictions. Throw in another Sakaguchi-esque money hatting for the XBone and it'd be icing.
On the other hand this is assuming Sony announces nothing whatsoever.

The XB1 is getting the Oculus Rift and Microsoft will be developing Tron VR as an exclusive.

Microsoft should definitely buy Capcom, and reeboot RE.
Capcom should make a RE remake per year, a old IP come back each two years, and a new IP each 5 years

I already find Killer Instinct and Sunset Overdrive more interesting than anything on the PS4 in terms of software. But I'm not buying a Xone until it's $400 or less new. A price cut to that end would go a long way towards convincing me, as long as SO turns out good.

99 euro Xbone.
Would Nintendo even care to purchase it? They already have Mario, and that IP has proven to be so flexible, that if they wanted to make a Banjo style game, they could just give Mario a new gimmick and have it sell 5 times more.

Kirkhope didn't work on Conker though. He'd be an excellent addition, but I think in general they don't need the original Rare guys to make a good Conker.

I would buy one at the end of the gen when its game collection is already finalized and it is at its cheapest, but with it being designed as an always-online machine I fear its best games won't exist in full for that long. These new generations suck for that.
Interesting new exclusives...
Gears and Halo will just not cut it, especially with how tired Halo already feels. They need to make up for the higher price tag; I am not interested in Kinect at all and paying $500 for a substantially weaker console that can't output most games at 1080p is way too much. I'd consider a Kinectless version at maybe around $350. I'd consider that a better investment.
Still... there are absolutely no games that interest me right now. Dead Rising is not my cup of tea... Ryse seems to be a 4 hour trainwreck.. I have Titanfall for PC. Etc.
Its surprising really; Microsoft had me by the balls a few years ago with the 360 and they completely dropped the ball.
If there is one thing that would absolutely tide me over is...
Lost Odyssey 2 by Mistwalker.

The only titles they ever had real exclusivity over were the Mistwalker games and even that isn't going to get me to buy it at anywhere near the price. Honestly my WiiU and PS4 are the only consoles I have the desire to own this generation as I find more value in each of those than the One. Maybe an "Arcade" version with those sequels to those two bundled in and I'd jump ship. I had a lot of fun with my 360 and gaming with my friends, but their hubris and awful policies they thought they could lead with soured the brand for me.
I honestly don't know, but I like to believe a lot of the Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie fan base still have a Nintendo system, be it Wii (U) or 3DS. But even then it's just good for the diversity. I don't see how the Banjo IP couldn't live next to Mario. DKC lived and still lives next to Mario as well. They just have those different awesome feels to them.
In UK price wasn't a huge issue, Xbox One was going for £350 with TitanFall before. I guess if they can have a official price drop which undercuts the PS4, such as £300.

The only thing they could do is stop charging for online play. I'm already paying for PS plus I'm not going to pay for online on two different consoles.

- $99
- New Mother game by Itoi
- Mehdi and Penello doing the bow of apology on stage in their underwear, with Penello specifically addressing GAF. Some points they'd apologize for are insisting the DRM backlash was due to poor messaging and not because it fucking sucked, attempts to confuse/fool customers into thinking Xbone is on par performance-wise with PS4, generally using FUD to deceive customers, Power of the Cloud, etc..
- Fortaleza Glasses are real and actually work as well as their fake demos would have you believe. They're also bundled with Xbone at the $99 price above.
- New slim model with built-in power supply, full BC with 360 games, user-replaceable 1TB SSD, and full compatibility with previous gen peripherals including Logitech G27 and arcade sticks. And all for $99 of course.
- Drop paywall for everything except Xbox TV programming, since I don't give a shit about that.
- Various other things I'm certainly forgetting

This is how many fanboys actually think.
OT: The main thing would be a price drop. For me, the XB1 is already fairly compelling in terms of exclusives. If there was an indication they'll keep that up with more titles like Dead Rising 3 and Killer Instinct, I'd be excited. However, MS isn't going to waste much time appealing to the Japanese market and is instead going to try and grab as large of a share of the western market as possible, so expect to see more timed COD DLC exclusives.

If Microsoft drop the price to sub 500 in Aus, and Halo/Sunset Overdrive/Quantum Break are great, then I would think about getting one.
New Gears would help a lot but I think that's 2016 at the earliest. maybe holiday 2015

Just so Banjo can be mashed into Kart games and Sports games? Poor thing. I would rather he be in limbo than watching Nintendo pillage his poor corpse.
I know right. Just look at all their games for the first 6 months, all Fable, Halo, Gears, and Forza.
A 250 price tag without Kinect would get me to buy one now.
Else?
Well games that interest *me*. And not one or two but at least a handful of them.

hope no one gets as pissed of as in that "what will it take for Europeans to buy the XBO" thread but to me the Xbox is worth less even than the Wii U when you consider how the payment design is built up in their exclusive games, so far, and add the fact to who owns the Xbox brand.

I don't know Mr. Penello cause so much damage to you. That grudge...
He already did. Go watch and listen to the three interviews he did with Major Nelson, he outright says that many of the choices MS made were downright wrong.
One of my favorite quotes by him (I think it was the podcast one) was where he was talking about essentially "yeah, apps and snapping and TV are great and all, but their all kind of like the side dish; they don't work outside of the context of games, so it makes no sense to focus on them. We should be focusing on games, as the main dish."
(I don't think he actually made the food analogy, but that's the best way I know how to explain it).

I also believe they probably do, because if you want a game along those lines then Nintendo consoles still make the most sense. However, the existence of Donkey Kong I feel hinders your point rather than helps it. Donkey Kong co-exists alongside Mario mostly because of how popular the characters have been over a long period of time. They have widespread recognition and represent Nintendo as a whole on only a slightly lower level than Mario, Zelda or Metroid. Nintendo has tons of IP they are reluctant to use these days (such as F-Zero), and many of these are in areas that their console actually has noticeable gaps to fill. I don't see why they'd be more likely to select an IP that would come behind Mario, Donkey Kong and even Kirby to create another game in line with those that they already have plenty of.
With MS it's the opposite scenario. I can see them possibly reviving Banjo, Viva Pinata or Kameo, in order to flesh out their first party offerings a bit. I find it less likely that we'll be seeing much from Perfect Dark, as a result of them having Halo and Gears. If Nintendo had all of Rare's IP currently, I would expect that we'd already be seeing a Retro developed Perfect Dark.
